A very bright Open Cluster which fits neatly into the FOV in
12mm, with the nebulosity from NGC 1973 just peeping in from the
North

10/02/16
A really bright Open Cluster with few stars between it's
brighter members around 6th and 7th magnitude
The three brightest are HIP 26257 at Mag 6.40, HIP 26234 at Mag
6.45 and VO Ori, HIP 26233 at Mag 6.55, all in a nice line and
of similar colours
One rogue star, just in the FOVin 12mm, is V1045 Ori, HIP 26182
at Mag 6.70, but it looks to be part of the cluster
